I have a 24x24 cube vivarium and the temp doesn't get above 72. I have 3 led jungle dawn lights and a heat cable underneath the tank. Anything else I can do to heat it up?
Wondering how to heat my tank

72 should be fine, no need to heat them up anymore.. especially if its winter/cold months for you right now.

Yes I live in no my house is 68. So 72 is ok? I only have plants right now but by the spring I will have bumble bees. How many can I have in a tank this size?

Yeah a lot of my tanks during the winter do not get over 71-73. During the summer months they get between 74-78. Depends on how well you designed your vivarium. I would say 3 would be a good number for that sized tank.

Thank you. Do you know a website that explains the lighting requirements for vivarium plants?

No heating is nessa unless your house gets below 65F and even then, 65F for just a few hours at night and then again, only for a few months as 'seasonal' is even ok.
Here's a good thread on lighting as well as an excellent vendor - click on his website link, you'll see it. viewtopic.php?f=39&t=5541
